thanks, yea I downloaded the trial copy I just haven’t had a chance to look at it. How user freindly is it? I have never done anything with Flash.

When i check the box that says “rely on VML for displaying graphics in browser” the links work but the format goes hay-wire. When I send it that way to my Google and Yahoo test addresses the text is all over the place and when the message is recieved to my Outlook account, it is just a blank page.

I have found a way to get the links to be active, but when I do, it drastically alters the format of the message. When I go into “options” and click the “general” tab, and then click on “web Options” I have found that if i check the box under the “browser” tab that reads “Rely on VML for displaying graphics in browsers,” the likes will be active but I loose the desired format and graphics of my message.

ok so I found all the <a href tags and then the link follows, but there is no blocked next to it. However the links are still not active when the email is sent.

ok I can get into the “view source” to view the HTML code but I must say that I dont know how to read it, maybe I wasnt looking hard enough but I didnt see anything that started with <a href= in there.

When you say “right-click the message body,” do you mean when it is in my inbox in outlook? If so, no when I click on the purple text where the like is embedded I do not get a “BLOCKED” message, I get the standard Outlook right click options.

one other thing…why is it that my links seem to deactivate once the message is merged and sent out? I send test copies to myself every time and it seems that even though the link works when the message is in word, as soon as it is sent the link doesn’t work anymore.

Thank you so much for that suggestion, that was definatly the root of the problem, however now I have some more work to do because the changing of the settings to get better image quality has cause the file size to increase from around 200KB up to 900KB which is to large to send to 3500 recipients.

I have tried several methods all resulting in the same loss of quality. I have tried the “select all, copy all, and then paste all into word,” I have tried export/import methods, and lastly for the Adobe Illustrator/InDesign I have created them PDF and then exported the PDF into MS Word format which has been the best quality, but there is still a significant quality loss.
